Bioprospecting of the agaricomycete Ganoderma australe GPC191 as novel source for l-asparaginase production

Abstract l-Asparaginase is a therapeutically and industrially-competent enzyme, acting predominantly as an anti-neoplastic and anti-cancerous agent. The existing formulations of prokaryotic l-asparaginase are often toxic and contain l-glutaminase and urease residues, thereby increasing the purificat...
